Reseña del libro "Polymer Composites, 3 Volume Set"
Polymer Technologists In Both Industry And Academia Are Showing Growing Interest In New Strategies For Developing High Performance Composites. Although There Are A Number Of Publications In The Field Of Polymer Composites, To - Date No Systematic Scientific Reference Book Has Been Published On The Topic, In Which Emphasis Is Placed On The Characteristics And Dimension Of The Reinforcement. In The Present Book The Authors Cover The Preparation, Characterization, Properties And Theory Of Polymer Composites Having A Wide Variety Of Fillers With Differing Length Scale (Macro, Micro, Nano), Dimension (0 - 3D), And Shape (E. G. , Spherical, Fibrous, Flake, Lamellar). The Book Is Divided Into Three Volumes: Vol. 1. Macro - And Microcomposites; Vol. 2. Nanocomposites; And Vol. 3. Biocomposites. The Book Begins By Discussing The State Of The Art, New Challenges, And Opportunities Of Various Polymer Composite Systems. Interfacial Characterization Of The Composites Is Discussed In Detail As Is The Macro - And Micromechanics Of The Composites. Structure - Property Relationships In Various Composite Systems Are Explained With The Help Of Theoretical Models. Processing Techniques For Various Macro - To Nanocomposite Systems And The Influence Of Processing Parameters On The Properties Of The Composite Are Reviewed In Detail. Characterization Of Microstructure, Elastic, Viscoelastic, Static And Dynamic Mechanical, Thermal, Tribological, Rheologial, Optical, Electrical And Barrier Properties, As Well As Applications, Biodegradability And Recyclability Of The Composites And Their Significance Are Also Highlighted. All Types Of Polymers From Thermoplastics, And Thermosets To Rubbers Are Covered. Chapters Are Written By Leading Experts In The Field
